Summary

Idea Hidden Meadow Academy is a K-5 charter school in San Antonio, TX, serving 608 students as part of the Idea Public Schools district, with about 67% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its exceptional performance with its African American student population, which ranked in the 93rd percentile statewide in 2024-2025, even as the school's overall rating dropped to a 2-star (47th percentile) in 2025-2026. However, the school has a high student-to-teacher ratio of 20.3:1, which is nearly double that of nearby Northwest Crossing Elementary (10.4:1) and Timberwilde Elementary (12.8:1), suggesting larger class sizes that may affect individual attention.

Despite its overall average performance, Idea Hidden Meadow significantly outperforms its closest neighbor, Knowlton Elementary, located just 0.22 miles away. While both schools serve high-poverty populations, Idea Hidden Meadow ranks in the 47th percentile compared to Knowlton's 25th percentile, and its 3rd-grade math proficiency (41%) beats Knowlton's (31%). The school also spends more per student ($11,561) than many higher-performing Northside Independent School District (Isd) schools like Carson Elementary ($9,793), indicating that funding alone doesn't explain its mixed results.

A key concern is the school's declining math proficiency, with 3rd-grade scores dropping from 64% in 2022-2023 to 41% in 2025-2026, and 5th-grade science scores (23% proficient) falling below the state average. Performance also varies widely across student groups, with White students ranking in the 22nd percentile and male students dropping from the 61st to 39th percentile in one year. For parents, this school offers a strong option for African American students but shows inconsistent support for other groups, making it important to consider your child's specific needs when comparing to more uniformly performing schools like Raba Elementary.
